Sleeping beauty

After the ceremony ended there was huge traffic near the gate of the mansion, the rumours were starting to spread all around the city about how the ceremony went.

With the stunt, Velian pulled up in the war and how he treated citizens, his popularity started to skyrocket in the city. Except for those with his good looks, most of the girls in the town started to idolize him,

There were a few unfaithful people in the city but, they had no choice but to stay low since most of the citizens started to see him in a positive light.

They were anxious about the future because they knew Rapidclaw kingdom won't give up on them but, they felt confident because of their first win. This was the result Velian wanted,

If he went to the battlefield with his army alone and finished it, most of them would have started to depend on him instead of helping him with territory management. It would be a disaster for them as well as Velian himself.

"Noah, next time I'm the one who's going to win, just wait," After the ceremony ended, Noah was surrounded by several people including some officials, and he became popular in the city in a flash.

Some wanted to challenge him and take the sword and some asked him to sell it but, none of them managed to take it from him.

"Well, try it if you can, I'm the one who's going to be the right hand of the young master, even if you try," He found a new goal in his life to follow.

While all of this was happening in the city, Velian asked everyone who got gifted by skill to meet him to further let them know about it,

"Sister, did she wake up?" Delvi was taking care of Naomi, who was sleeping rather peacefully.

"Not yet, I took a whole day to wake up right? So she won't wake up any sooner," Velian knew it wasn't the case because the effect his skill had on Delvi was greater than anyone else due to their blood relationship.

"Anyway, how do you feel? Is there anything strange in your body?" Regarding Velian's question, she just shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, your rank will increase super fast, so it might be uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it," Right after, he said the door of the room opened and Samara, Juno and Remi entered the room.

"Is she okay now? I'm sorry for intruding," Samara said looking at us.

"Don't be, I was waiting for you," Velian showed them some chairs to take seats.

"How do you feel?" He asked looking at them simultaneously.

"I feel like my mana is increasing little by little, it's really a strange feeling," Remi was the one to talk first about her condition.

"This is the result of my unique skill, I'm pretty sure, you guys must have noticed," Velian didn't hide anything as, he told them about everything.

"Unique skills? I heard they existed but this is the first time, I saw one," As expected of the guild master of a merchant guild, she had enough knowledge about stuff like these.

"So we have a chance to get stronger now? Isn't that the greatest thing," Juno was more than happy to have such a chance.

From the day she was suppressed by Velian skill, she knew he wasn't a normal person so she wasn't that surprised about it.

"Samara got a 1x boost for mana, strength, and stamina and it is permanent so you don't have to worry, you can think of this as a rare potion,"

"Juno and Remi got a 2x boost for mana, strength and stamina, so you guys have a greater advantage,"

They listened to his words carefully to know about this skill,

"Now that everything is done, we cannot stop but move forward, so we will not wait, we will attack the critical moment and take what we want, so you guys need to be always ready," All three of them knew what he was talking about, now that they attacked a noble, kingdom won't forgive them and Velian doesn't want to ask for forgiveness either, so from now on it's a war for them.

"Why did she faint, if we got the same gift, Velian," Juno asked to which he just gave a little smile.

"It's a secret," He put his forefinger in his mouth looking at them with a smile.

"Tch~ you clearly gave her something superior, aren't you?" She was unsatisfied with it.

"Why don't you give it to me? Aren't I'm your friend too?" She thought inside her, and then she remembered the bath incident.

"She isn't a friend," Juno remembered how she got fucked by Velian in the bath. Her face was filled with pleasure and happiness while it was happening.

"Why am I lying to myself calling he's only a friend? Is it because of my past?" Velian disturbed her while she was thinking about all this.

"Did you hear what I said? Why are you distracted in this important meeting? Do you feel sick?" Juno didn't expect him to touch her forehead to see whether she had a fever.

"N-no! I'm okay," She blushed looking at him.

*Cough

"Brother, I think you should get on with the meeting." Delvi noticed what was happening so, she quickly interfered.

"As I said, I will be going back to the alliance for a few weeks, I want you girls to protect this town, don't worry if something happened, I will come here running,"

Juno couldn't help but be surprised by his statement,

"C-can I come with you?" Everyone looked at her because of her question, Delvi couldn't help but facepalm herself seeing her,

"Another one," She thought.

Remi didn't understand but Samara had a light smile on her face,

"Well, if you can convince your old man to take control of your battalions, I will let you," Velian said.

Juno had a bright smile listening to him but, she noticed others were looking at her in a strange way,

"I- I just want to help him, I'm not going to do anything," She said answering Samara's smile.

"Is she really a dumb person?" Velian thought seeing her exposing herself like that.

"Did I say anything? I don't know what you're talking about," Samara acted all ignorant.

They talked for a few minutes until all of them left leaving Naomi and Velian alone in the room.

"Wake up quickly, darling," Velian gave a quick kiss on her forehead before going back to his room and advising the maids to take care of her.
